NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Metro Parks department hopes to build a new nature center in Madison, one of the few areas of Nashville that doesn't already have a center.The Metro Parks and Recreation Board voted Tuesday to apply for a $100,000 grant from the Maddox Foundation.The grant money would be used to expand Peeler Park on Neely's Bend Road."Peeler Park is really a greenway park. It has a greenway trail along the river. In the process of expanding that, we're hoping to have more equestrian trails and mountain bike trails," said Shane Denison of Metro Greenways.
